……

"The first week of "Edge of Tomorrow" reached RMB 1.1465 million, breaking the first-week box office record for domestic films!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"Edge of Tomorrow's box office reached RMB 1.14 million in its first week, making it the No.

"1.1465 million RMB box office, runner-up in the first week of mainland film history, "Edge of Tomorrow" has a hot start in the first week!"-- Netease Entertainment
""Transformers 2" is an underground painting in the mainland, with a total box office of 4.229 million yuan, setting a new box office record in the history of mainland movies!"--Qiandu Entertainment
"The first week of "Edge of Tomorrow" was 1.1465 million RMB, which is a difference of 2 million RMB from the 1.6 million RMB in the first week of "Transformers 4535"! Can Chen Hao be crowned the film history box office champion again?" --- New Wolf Entertainment
……

In 2009, Chen Hao's most anticipated new sci-fi film "Edge of Tomorrow" was released at the box office in its first week, and immediately became the focus of the industry and the media.

The box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" was 1.1465 million yuan in the first week, breaking the previous box office record of 2012 million yuan for domestic films held by Chen Hao's "1.08"!

There is no doubt that this is an amazing box office result, and it has increased the first-week box office record of domestic films by more than 600 million yuan!
Of course, the number of screens has grown rapidly within one year, and the ticket price has also increased slightly. The box office has only increased by more than 1 million, which may still be a regression.

But in the case of "Eavesdropping", "Lingling Dog" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", it is not bad to get this box office.

As for saying that without these three films, the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" should be able to reach a higher level.

It has become an established fact, and it is completely meaningless to say more!
"Edge of Tomorrow" not only broke the first-week box office record of a domestic film, but also broke the first-day and single-day highest box office records of a domestic film!
The box office on the first day was 2715 million RMB, Friday 2700 million RMB, Saturday 3300 million RMB, and Sunday 2750 million RMB!

The Saturday, Sunday, first day, and Friday box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" took the top 4 single-day box office records of domestic films respectively!
But even so, the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" in the first week is still 2 million yuan less than that of "Transformers 4535".

"Transformers 2" also maintained the top three single-day box office box office in mainland film history, with box office of 4000 million, 3400 million and 3371 million RMB respectively!

It can only be said that the 2 million yuan box office of "Transformers 1.6" in the first week is indeed too terrifying.

Because of this, there are many comments in the media and on the Internet that are not optimistic that "Edge of Tomorrow" can surpass the box office record of "Transformers 2"!
"The difference in the first week is 4535 million yuan. It seems that "Edge of Tomorrow" will not be able to catch up with "Transformers 2"!"

"It seems that this time, Chen Hao is going to give up his title of king of the summer file!"

"Better than "Transformers 2"? "Edge of Tomorrow" should surpass "2012" first!"

"After all, it is a Hollywood blockbuster, domestic films are always inferior!"

"It seems that the hope of surpassing "Transformers 2" is pinned on Guoshi's new film!"

……

Similar remarks popped up like mushrooms after rain in an instant, making people dizzy.

Not only that, but two directors expressed their views on the matter.

"Do you think "Edge of Tomorrow" can surpass "Transformers 2" at the box office?"

Feng Dapao said with a smile, "First of all, congratulations to Chen Hao for breaking the box office record of a domestic movie. It is gratifying. As for the box office record of "Transformers 2", he is still too young to grasp it.

This task is entrusted to me. Next year, my "Tangshan Earthquake" will be released, and I will definitely kill this "Transformers 2". Let's wait and see, ah! "

"You mean, Chen Hao is inferior to you?"

Feng Dapao laughed and said, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself!"

"Didn't you just mean that the box office of the new film can beat "Edge of Tomorrow"?"

Feng Dapao paused, then nodded and said, "That's right, I can assure you that the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" is definitely better than "Edge of Tomorrow"!"

Now the annual box office growth rate in the mainland is obvious, and it is only natural that the box office will be higher in one year's time than it is now. In addition, Feng Dapao has confidence in his films, so he feels that his chances of winning are great.

……

"Director Lu, what do you think of the box office competition between "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Transformers 2"!"

Lu Chuan said after hearing this, "When shooting blockbuster films with special effects, you have to admit that domestic films are at least ten years away from Hollywood! No matter how hard you work alone, no matter how powerful you are, you can't make up for this gap.

Moreover, it is not correct to blindly shoot blockbuster films with special effects. Such films have no soul, and cannot even be called art, and will only be buried in the long river of history! "

"Director Lu, do you mean that "Edge of Tomorrow" cannot overtake "Transformers 2" at the box office? And you look down on Director Chen's sci-fi films?"

Lu Chuan paused when he heard the words, "Facts speak louder than words, and "Transformers 2" is indeed better! As for special effects films? Anyway, I don't know how to shoot them. What I want to shoot is art, and there will be no money!"

……

There are more and more comments that "Edge of Tomorrow" surpasses "Transformers 2" at the box office, which has aroused many counterattacks from Chen Hao and "Edge of Tomorrow" fans.

China Entertainment Reporter: This is only the first week, I believe that "Edge of Tomorrow" will complete the lead!

Qinglian Earth: Anyone who has watched "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Transformers 2" will know that the special effects of the two are similar, but the plot of "Edge of Tomorrow" is overwhelmed by the latter, so I stand on "Edge of Tomorrow"!
Fax. : Although the box office difference between the two films was 4535 million yuan in the first week, the first week of "Transformers 2" was released for 5 days, 1 day more than "Edge of Tomorrow".

If this one day is calculated according to the lowest one-day box office of 1 million in the first week of "Edge of Tomorrow", then the difference between the two is only 1 million. Therefore, the real gap between the two films is not that big!

I am 1875: And the two films face different competitors, with "Edge of Tomorrow" facing "Whispering", "Ghost Dog" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

And "Transformers 2" is just facing a "Terminator 2018"!If the two films are reversed, maybe "Edge of Tomorrow" can win a box office higher than 1.6 million!

……

Facing the rebuttals from Chen Hao and the fans of "Edge of Tomorrow", those who are not optimistic about "Edge of Tomorrow" also have many reasons!

"Speaking of the schedule, "Edge of Tomorrow" is one of the best two schedules in the summer in China. The student party is on vacation, and "Transformers 2" is released in June."

Idlers in the Deep Lane: To be precise, it is June 6th, that is, it will enter July one week later, and it is also in the summer vacation!
"Who said that the competitors of "Transformers 2" are weak, but the box office of "Terminator" has reached 1.12 million yuan!"

Highly cold and cruel: "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has a box office of more than 1.43 million. At the same time, "Eavesdropping" and "The Secret Agent" are close to 2000 million box office in the first week, and "Transformers 2" is not at all in the same period. There is no movie with a box office of more than 2000 million.

"That only shows that the movie "Transformers 2" is good enough and strong enough!"

Find a good book to beat the boredom: If "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Transformers 2" are swapped, you will see the real strength!

"Only looking at the single-day box office, "Transformers 2" completely smashed "Edge of Tomorrow"!"

The reality is too cruel 1: It is still a question of whether the competitor is strong or not, and this is only the first week. "Transformers 1" has already been drawn, but "Edge of Tomorrow" still has more time to achieve a comeback!

"Overtake? Let's surpass "2012" first, or close to 4 million at the box office!"

……

The supporters of "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Transformers 2" insisted on their own opinions, and the media also took the opportunity to hype it up.

At the same time, the media did not forget to interview the parties involved, Chen Hao who is still promoting!

"Director Chen, what do you think of what Director Feng and Director Lu said?"

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, "Director Feng said that I am young and I can't grasp it. But I have already won the box office champion of film history, and what about him? As for comparing the box office of next year's movies with this year's movies, it's a bit of a shame.

As for Lu Chuan?hehe……"

The reporter couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Every time Chen Hao was asked about Lu Chuan, he always answered these two words. Lu Chuan is probably going to vomit blood again!
"Then Director Chen, what do you think about the box office competition between "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Transformers 2" on the Internet?"

After hearing this, Chen Hao laughed, "My goal remains the same, and I still want to win back our own film history box office champion!"

"Director Chen, are you so confident?"

Chen Hao heard this and said, "I have confidence in the audience, the 8.9 rating on Douban.com and the over [-] positive reviews left by fans are the reasons why I dare to say this.

The advantage in the plot is my confidence.

The people of the country hope to regain our own film history box office champion, which is my confidence! "

……

"Chen Hao bluntly said that Feng Dapao is playing a rogue, Lu Chuan haha!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"Chen Hao's three major strengths lie in his goal of becoming the box office champion in film history!" --- Netease Entertainment
"Chen Hao believes that "Edge of Tomorrow" can overtake "Transformers 2" at the box office!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

The media naturally released the interview about Chen Hao immediately.

For Chen Hao's confidence and self-confidence, many movie fans are convinced, of course, many people think that Chen Hao is purely a dead duck, just for hype.

In fact, it's hard to say whether he has such a strong confidence in his heart!
As for Lu Chuan seeing Chen Hao's "hehe" evaluation to himself again, and hearing that disdainful tone, he clenched his fists angrily.

Moreover, I worked so hard to shoot, and the box office of "Nanjing Nanjing" with high hopes was only 1.72 million. I don't know how far I will be left behind by Chen Hao. The key is that I was scolded by netizens as "Lu Chuantaro", a well-known island director!
Suddenly thinking of the pretty Qin Lan again, Lu Chuan couldn't bear the anger in his heart anymore, and smashed the notebook in his hand!

……

After Chen Hao accepted the interview, he was still promoting on the running field.

When online publicity has not yet become popular, runway publicity is the most common way of film promotion.

And even though the scale of online publicity in later generations is already large enough, many production crews still need high-intensity running publicity, in order to naturally get higher film schedules and box office.

Although Chen Hao said that "Edge of Tomorrow" will definitely overtake "Transformers 2" at the box office, but in fact he is still not fully sure.

After all, "Edge of Tomorrow"'s competitors are indeed more competitive.

Not to mention the two major co-productions and "Harbin 6" in the first week, and the Hollywood "Up" and "Special Forces: Rise of Cobra" in the second week, the pressure can be imagined.

However, Chen Hao can't do too much now, he can only increase the intensity of publicity and strive to win a higher box office.

Fortunately, the good word-of-mouth of the film has given Chen Hao some confidence. With the end of the first week of release, more film reviews about "Edge of Tomorrow" have been released.

"At the beginning of the movie, this is a standard special effects film of heroes fighting aliens, and nearly half of the movie can't help but remind people of "Groundhog Day".

At the end of the movie, I deeply feel that this is a masterpiece that interprets war and life. There is no doubt that this is another masterpiece of Chen Hao! "

Sweet Power Poetry (Sohu News, Special Film Critic of Movie Network)
"Although I have never been exposed to novels, the movie feels great and shocking. Leaving aside the novel itself, the movie is well controlled in terms of screen, music, scene construction, character portrayal, and rhythm. It's very good.

The movie is really good. Even though I have seen a lot of Hollywood sci-fi movies, this movie is still worthy of recognition. This year's masterpiece has a very good reputation. "

"I think it's very good! The plot at the beginning made me feel very old-fashioned, until Liu Ye's first death, the whole person was sober! I didn't pay much attention to the hard indicators of the soundtrack and editing, but I felt that the script was written a bit Unconstrained.

This kind of story of human beings being invaded to the point of genocide requires the implantation of new concepts, and Chen Hao has done a good job in this.

In addition, Liu Ye's acting skills are really good, and Kate Beckinsale is so beautiful! "

……

The good reputation of "Edge of Tomorrow" has given Chen Hao and the main creators of the crew more confidence, and they have worked harder to promote the show.

Time passed quickly, and another week passed.

Deciding whether "Edge of Tomorrow" can surpass "Transformers 2" at the box office next week is out.

According to the box office curve of domestic films at this time, the box office of the next week is generally higher than that of the first week, and the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" basically determines the final outcome of the film.
